Grant High School, Middle School, Elementary School and Primary Center were also secured by responding law enforcement. All schools were cleared at 1:30 p.m.
Newaygo Public Schools Superintendent Ben Gilpin said his district also went into 'secure mode' following the report of the call.
“We appreciate the quick response and partnership of our local police, first responders and school safety teams in resolving this situation swiftly and professionally,” Grant Public Schools said in a recent post.
